"Gibbs" Tony said entering the bullpen "Can we talk?" Tony signaled towards the sighed and followed him.

They waited for the elevator to open in silence, when it arrived, there was only one person inside, Ziva. She had a vacant expression on her face, Tony recognized that look. It was the same one she had the entire trip home from Somalia. She got off the elevator muttering to word "ass" to Tony as she passed. To her surprise he laughed at this, really hard actually. He was cracking just continued to her desk. Tony laughed at her comment because he knew he wasn't the ass in this situation, he had done nothing wrong. Ziva on the other hand, was being completely immature. Tony and Gibbs got in the elevator and Gibbs flipped the emergency switch.

"I'm getting my own team" Tony started, getting straight to the point. At first Gibbs looked surprised, then a little hurt.

"Just because you and Ziva got into a fight?"Gibbs said, he was upset. He was about to lose his best agent.

In the bullpen..

Ziva sat down at her desk and glanced over at McGee who was reading something on the computer. She watched him as he looked angry, then hurt, and then angry again. He finally looked up at her, anger all over his face.

"Tony is the best guy you would have ever even had the chance to have."he spat before going down to Abby's lab to comfort her. Ziva was confused, and hurt. Whenever something happened, McGee had been on her side. Before she could question him though,he was gone. Ziva got up and walked over to McGee's desk, she looked at the computer sceeen to see an email from abby which must have been what he was reading.

Timmy, the second you finish reading this you'll get down here! Tony is leaving us, he got his own team. He told me everything that happened, and Ziva as completely out of line. She hurt him really bad, I hate her! Tony doesn't get hurt easily, and you know that. I'll tell you everything she said to him when you get down here. Ziva and her family ruin everything. If it wasn't for her and her brother, we could still have Kate, and everything would be perfect. I'm not even how were supposed to work with her, she should leave and Tony should stay, I don't think anyone trusts her anyway.

When Ziva finished reading she was crying. She ran into the ladies room and locked the door. What have I done? she thought to herself. Tony was leaving the team. Ziva thought this was just going to blow over in a day or two, apparently she was wrong. Abby said she hated Ziva, McGee was obviously pissed, and she found out they blamed her for Agent Todd's death. This definitely was not going to blow over.

Thank god they did not have a case today.

In the elevator..

"That's not the only reason , Gibbs, and I'm not really going anywhere just next door. I've been with you for too long,you and I both know that. Last time I got offered my own team, I turned it down, I think I'm ready this time. " Tony explained, and Gibbs nodded

"Yeah, yeah I understand" Gibbs said flipping the emergency switch again. Tony and Gibbs got off the elevator to find it empty. Tony went towards his desk went he felt a hand collide with his head

"What did I do?" Tony asked

"Nothing, that one was for the road." Gibbs said,giving Tony one of his rare smiles. Tony laughed as he started to pack up his things.

Ziva came out of the bathroom to see Gibbs at his desk sipping coffee and Tony packing up the things at his desk. She saw tony look at his letter opener and he went and placed it on her desk. She walked into the bullpen then and stood in front of his desk. It was a moment before he acknowledged her.

"Yes?"

"You are really leaving?" she asked, Tony wondered how she knew since he didn't tell her.

"Yes."

"Because of me?" she asked

"No" he lied.

"Oh" she said and turned to sit at her desk, doing her best to ignore the letter opener that sat there. She remembered when they all thought he had died and she took his letter opener, he must have remembered as well.

Tony left the bullpen with his Mighty Mouse stapler.

"Hey Ducky" Tony said as he entered autopsy

"Hello my dear boy, how are you?" Ducky greeted him.

"I'm fine, I thought you might want this"he said handing the stapler to Ducky.

"Oh, why thank you,are you sure Anthony? You have always been quite fond of this." Ducky said

"Yeah, yeah , you can have it. I don't really want it anymore. But I came down here to talk , Ducky" Tony said

"Talk away" he said as he sat at his desk and pulled over a chair for Tony.

"Well I'm getting my own team." he started

"Congratulations, may I ask exactly why you are leaving?" Tony knew he had seen the fight earlier, but used the same excuse again

"I've been with Gibbs too long, I thought it was time to have my own team."

"I see, I see. Well I hope you don't forget to visit."

"I'll only be next door, and you know Abby will be constantly makig sure I visit." he said as he made his way out of autopsy.

"Gibbs?" Ziva said the second Tony had left for autopsy.

"Yea"

"Are you mad at me as well?" she asked, scared about what his answer may be.

"Nope" he answered "Should I be?"Gibbs asked

"No" she answered before McGee came back into the bullpen. Gibbs and Ducky were probably the only ones left who didn't know the real reason why her and Tony had fought.
